A Queens public school assistant principal has been arrested on federal charges over accusations he had a lucrative side hustle pimping out a California-based online porn star, officials said Tuesday.
Bond Ng, 47, was arrested on Sunday and charged with enticing a person to travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution, federal officials said. Ng is an assistant principal at P.S. 16 in Corona, a law enforcement source said. He makes about $173,000 annually, according to public payroll records.
The feds are looking into whether he’s part of a wider-spread human trafficking scheme, Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Amzallag said Tuesday. Ng made several short trips to Medellin and Cartagena in Colombia, known human trafficking destinations, Amzallag told a judge Tuesday.
Ng is currently accused of reaching out to fans of the porn star, who lives in Los Angeles and is not named in court papers, and offering them a chance to have sex with her for $2,000 an hour.
Fans were charged $500 more if they wanted to perform anal sex or have sex without a condom, according to the complaint filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.
If a fan wanted sex without a condom, besides paying extra, the client would have to provide a “full panel test” to prove that they don’t have any sexually transmitted diseases.
“As early as 2021, Ng appeared to be coordinating (the porn actress’) meetings with clients for sexual activity,” the federal complaint says. “In the messages, Ng provided instructions to (her) as to the names of the clients who would be meeting with her; the amount of money the clients owed; the types of sexual activity the clients were expecting and the locations where (she) would meet with the clients.”
The porn star prostitute is not a minor, the feds said, and the criminal complaint does not describe any threats or coercion on Ng’s part.
“He f—ed me for 3 hours,” the porn star texted when Ng inquired about one client.
“No way,” Ng said.
“He usually one time then just talk,” she explained. “It’s not super hard but he f— me 3 hour(s). Maybe 30 min break total.”
Ng crudely responded: “He got his money’s worth.”
One excited client wanted to spend seven hours with the porn performer and had already deposited $10,000 into Ng’s account as Ng tried to set up the date in New York.
“I will book hotel for you in Manhattan to sleep since you get sick from your co-op and my apartment smells bad for you,” Ng wrote the porn actress during that exchange.
Federal prosecutors said Ng often pretended to be the porn actress when communicating with her fans to set up trysts.
“My rate is 2K lover,” Ng wrote in one text conversation with a fan who had had sex with the porn star before.
“I understand. NP. If you could include Greek (please!)” the fan texted back with a bunch of smiley face emojis. Greek is slang for anal sex.
“Sorry that’s $500 extra,” Ng wrote back.
“You’re too damn hot,” the fan wrote. “Le me know when you ever come back. Gotta see you again!”
The case against Ng broke wide open on Feb. 20 when he was flagged for a second inspection at JFK Airport as he returned to the U.S. from Cartagena, Colombia.
During the inspection, Homeland Security officers recovered two cellphones from Ng which had damning text messages between himself, the porn star and the porn star’s clients.
He explained to Homeland Security Investigations agents that “he was the ‘manager’ of a person … who, he stated, performs in pornographic videos on an online website” and that “he helps facilitate meetings between (the woman) and her ‘fans’ in different location, including in New York and elsewhere,” according to the complaint.
Ng was arrested on Sunday and freed on $150,000 bond, secured by his sister, following a remote video hearing, so planned because of the snowstorm.
He appeared in Brooklyn Federal Court in person Tuesday, wearing glasses, a light gray-blue hooded jacket, an argyle sweater vest, white collared shirt and dark pants. Amzallag said prosecutors found “more coercion than we originally thought.” He said Ng met the woman in 2021, when she was inexperienced, and “groomed” her, giving her instructions on how to appear in videos.
Ng made several trips, just a few days long, to Colombia during his winter and summer breaks, had conversations with three other women that the feds are looking into, and had coordinated “deliveries” to “erotic massage parlors,” the prosecutor said. Investigators were still looking into what those deliveries were, Amzallag said.
His lawyer, Michael Schneider, called the case unusual Tuesday, particularly because the charge involves the trafficking of adults with no elements of coercion alleged.
“The crime he’s charged with, I have to say in my 28 years as a federal defender, I have never seen prosecuted,” Schneider said.
The case was initially put together after sifting through the texts on Ng’s phones, which included conversations with the porn star in which Ng encouraged her to travel to New York to have sex for money with fans.
Ng accepted payments through his Zelle account and would then reach out to the porn star with the list of clients as well as the dates and sexual activities promised.
He’d also set the porn star up in hotels in New York, and sometimes even in his own apartment in Long Island City.
The woman was hesitant, but not because of the sex, according to the complaint.
“The weather is soooo bad,” the porn star told Ng on Dec. 27, referring to a winter storm that was expected to arrive.
Before a trip to New York on the last week of December, Ng bought the porn star a winter coat, the text messages reveal.
A city Department of Education spokesperson declined comment, referring a reporter to the feds.
